Why isn’t your med spa listed on Google My Business?

We’ve all been there; your friend recommends a great place and, when you Google it, the location doesn’t appear on the first page.

Instead, you have to click on their website, scroll through the entire page, find the location tab, then copy and paste the address to maps.

DON’T BE THAT BUSINESS!

It’s frustrating.

You spent all that time and effort for customers to recommend you, so why make it so difficult for them to find you?

Now imagine when someone Googles your business, your location, address, phone number, hours, services, and reviews automatically populates on the first page of Google. And the best part, you can do all of this for free.

Introducing Google My Business (aka Google Places): a free service to add your business to Google Maps making it remarkably convenient for customers to find you. It also adds a nice half-page box with all of your info to the right-hand side of the search results.

If you own a med spa, dermatology office, or any other local business and you’re not listed with Google My Business, you’re seriously missing out. Your competition is almost certainly there.

Don’t believe me?

Google “med spa {your city}” and check the results. Are you on that map? If not, read on and take action.

I’m going to show you how we got MD Spa Shop on Google My Business and how you can do it too in less than 5 minutes.
